Malachi 2:10-17 (p.729) The complaint: Where is God? (v.17) –God doesn’t love us (1:2); too hard to serve God (1:13); God’s leaders are humiliated (2:9); God doesn’t answer our prayers (2:13); and there is no point in serving God – no justice (3:14). We have done nothing wrong (1:6), and we are faithful about giving the offerings (1:6; 2:12). God’s answer – YOU have twisted justice, then blamed Me –Crippled sacrifices (1:8); dishonor My Name (1:12); break promises to Me (1:14); stopped teaching My Word of truth (2:7); disobeyed Me in marriage (2:11) and divorced the wives of your youth (2:15-16); call evil “good” then blame Me (2:17); cheat employees, foreigners, widows and orphans (3:5); and don’t give me the full tithe (3:8)

I LOVE YOU (1.2) God’s love is unconditional. God’s blessings are conditional. Obedience is the condition that brings God’s blessings. God is the cause of all blessings.

Problem: marrying those who don’t love God (v.11) Problem: divorce was common and cruel (v.14) Wisdom: Guard your heart, keep your commitment

1.Guard your needs. (Prov 5:15) 2.Guard your eyes. (Job 31:1) 3.Guard your emotions. (Prov 4:23) 4.Guard your finances. (Heb 13:5) 5.Guard your time. (Deut 24:5) 6.Guard your words. (Eph 4:29) 7.Guard your faith. (Matt 10:37)
